We keep you up to date on everything going on in battle rap.

Battle rap is quickly growing as a culture. What was almost completely relegated to street corners and Youtube a few years ago has garnered national recognition, more tv programming, Pay-Per-View events, and other attention of the mainstream media. Hip Hop icons like Eminem and Snoop Dogg have put on events for the battle scene and at this rate things can only continue to expand. That being the case, we’re here to keep you updated on all things battle rap. Now is a great time to join the culture.

We’re now on the other side of Blackout 5, folks. The event was a big one, but it was by no means the only news in battle rap. We’ve got battles from Battle of the Bay 7, including the main event of Arsonal vs Mistah F.A.B. Also, Daylyt has made some interesting claims about some of his future opponents. Our more optimistic readers might believe he’s gonna face off with a certain Detroit legend. We’re not gonna hold our breath, though.

Arsonal vs Mistah F.A.B.

The highly anticipated battle was the main event at Battle of the Bay 7 in Oakland, giving the hometown advantage to local hip hop legend Mistah F.A.B. Of course that didn’t stop Arsonal from being as disrespectful as possible.

Daylyt vs Uno Lavoz

Daylyt is literally charging fans for bars at this point. This is possibly his most lucrative antic yet. This is also the battle in which Lush One gets a Stone Cold Stunner and a People’s Elbow from Daylyt and Uno Lavoz.

Blackout 5

KOTD’s highly anticipated two day event finally went down a couple weeks ago, with support and sponsorship from Drake. The event was a huge success, with a title match, battle rappers returning to the stage, and plenty of great battles, all of which were revealed as surprise match ups right at the venue. There was even a fight during one of the main events (which may or may not have been staged).

Hollohan Addresses Not Being Allowed on Stage

In case you didn’t know, Charron had a plan to use Hollohan in his third round against Pat Stay in their title match. The short version is: Charron was going to air out some shady aspect of Pat’s disloyal past and had a line saying “If what I’m saying is true Hollohan come over to my side.” Then Hollohan would go over to Charron’s side. Pat heard about this stunt and started saying people would hurt Hollohan if it happened. Organik then decided to keep Hollohan off stage and Hollohan feels some type of way about it.

Daylyt Promises Battle With Eminem

In an interview with BattleRap.com, Daylyt detailed some of his future plans. He said he "speaks things into existence," and will battle Eminem this year. He also mentioned plans to battle Loaded Lux, Bizzy Bone, and DMX or Lupe Fiasco.
